"Men steal precious broadcast time.
Men ignore us, pay attention no more to our needs.
Men are unable to communicate.
Men pay attention only to the ball.
Men all of a sudden seem to think they know all about everything.
Men grow ugly watching football. "
How about that? Yep, apparently, there are some women who are not exactly looking forward to the World Football Cup. Want some more? OK:
"Romantic getaways have been replaced by jeering and other loutish and boarish behaviour over 22 men who have nothing better to do than running around on a field, kicking a ball back and forth for no apparent reason. Is that what separates us from the animals?" [via Coolzûr]
Personally, I think they're right. A man of intelligence does not watch football. He watches cycling.
Did I tell you I went to see the first stage of the Giro d'Italia, which took place in Seraing (that's right, in Belgium) this year? I think it might have slipped my mind. Anyway, I was able to shoot some nice pictures, like this one from the guy who would eventually win the race and who - if you ask me - stands a good chance of winning this year's Tour de France as well:
If you want to see some more photos, you can always have a look on my Flickr pages.

After watching the England vs. Paraguay game at London Bridge on saturday, ending up with the police having to kick out half of the people because they were fighting each other (!) I'm starting to think you're right...
very nice pictures btw!
